How can I place a Proxy bid?Updated 2 years ago


Depending on the current bid of an auction; it will fall into a set incremental bid amount, this is a set minimum amount that must be added to the current bid in order to place another bid.

Here is a full list of our incremental bid amounts and ranges;

  • EUR 0.00 To EUR 2.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 0.20
  • EUR 2.00 To EUR 5.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 0.50
  • EUR 5.00 To EUR 15.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 1.00
  • EUR 15.00 To EUR 30.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 2.00
  • EUR 30.00 To EUR 50.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 3.00
  • EUR 50.00 To EUR 100.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 4.00
  • EUR 100.00 To EUR 150.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 5.00
  • EUR 150.00 To EUR 500.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 10.00
  • EUR 500.00 To EUR 1000.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 20.00
  • EUR 1000.00 To EUR 2000.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 30.00
  • EUR 2000.00 To EUR 4000.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 50.00
  • EUR 4000.00 To EUR 10000.00 Price Increment Gap will be EUR 100.00


In order to place a Proxy Bid, the bid will have to be equal to, or greater than the following formula:
 
Current Bid + (2 x Incremental Bid)

For example:

Current bid - 42
Incremental bid for €30 to €50 - €3
Minimum bid to be considered proxy - 42 + (2 x €3) = €48
